Queen Victoria Gardens

Step into an aromatic artwork that opens your senses and draws out the body’s memory, making it tangible

Nothing tethers you to home quite like your sense of smell. Even the simple scent of a fresh-cut lawn can transport you to specific moments in time, and reopen forgotten perspectives.

This new collaboration between interdisciplinary creators Zya Kane and Aurora Kurth with passionate aromatherapist Lucila Zakowicz drifts deep into feelings of bodily nostalgia. It’s an immersive, aromatic installation that opens the senses and lets you trace the contours of your personal history through scent. A space for connecting, storytelling and maybe even rediscovering certain essences of belonging.

Sessions are 20 minutes in duration, and bookings are essential.
